Sugg's father, Steven Sugg, held back tears Thursday as he talked about his wife, Darlene, who recently died from colorectal cancer. He said his wife's wish was to see their daughter graduate, but with her declining health, it didn't look good.

"I went to Megan and said, 'I don't think mom's going to be here in June.' So she talked to her counselor, and I emailed her and said, 'Look, we have to do this sooner than later because I don't think we have much time,'" Steven Sugg said.

Anne Arundel County school officials quickly jumped into action and held a private graduation ceremony in the Sugg's living room. Megan dressed in her cap and gown, standing at her mom's bedside.

"My principal, her mom is going through the same thing, so she knows how it feels. Just knowing that they're behind me and supporting me, and everybody else is supporting me, it's awesome," Megan said.

It was an emotional ceremony.

"She could communicate very little because she was so weak. Towards the end, she pretty much lipped everything," Steven Sugg said.

"Or she shook her head yes or no, or squeezed your hand," Megan said.

The Suggs said two days later, Darlene died. She had been diagnosed with cancer in 2010.

News of the bedside graduation garnered worldwide attention. The family began receiving cards from strangers as far away as Australia.

"Usually, colonoscopies don't happen until you're 50. At the fundraiser (we held), Darlene was able to go and talk to (supporters) through Facetime, and her message was, 'Please get screened. Don't let this happen to you,'" Steven Sugg said.

Megan said she's happy her mother's wish came true, and she'll always remember what her mother taught her.

"Never give up. I'm going to pursue my dreams and never give up on that," the teen said.

Megan said her dream is to become a dietician and a fitness model. She will walk with her classmates on graduation day, which is set for June 10.
